Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Cleaning The Farmland, Building The Greenhouses
Chi Xiyou walked in with a bamboo basket on his back and asked, “Father, when are we going to Xin Xin’s farm?”

Chi Junheng turned to look at his son and said, “It’s great that you are back. We should leave now.”

Chi Xiyou nodded to his father and then went to the kitchen to ask his mother and younger sister to help clean up the rabbit and pheasants. After thanking them, Chi Xiyou followed his father out.

When Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou arrived at Duan Yixin’s farmland, workers were already waiting for them. Seeing them coming, a worker stood up from the ground to greet them.

“Good morning, Brother Chi. When do we start?” He asked.

Chi Junheng looked at him and said, “We will start cleaning up today. But before we start, please form groups of two. Each group will clean an acre of land, and we will provide breakfast for everyone later. We will pay your wage at the end of the day.”

After he finished explaining, a worker asked, “I heard from the village chief that you are also looking for workers to plow the land. Are you also going to hire us to do this job?”

Chi Junheng looked at the worker and said, “Let’s see the results of the work today first and then decide who will get the job for plowing and planting work tomorrow.”

Listening to what he said, everyone knew that if Chi Junheng didn’t like the results of their work today, they probably wouldn’t be hired to do plowing and planting work tomorrow. Thinking about how difficult it is to find a job now, the workers are even more motivated to do a good job today.

Seeing that he had achieved the result he wanted, Chi Junheng smiled and said, “Everyone, let’s get started. The sooner we complete the work, the sooner we can go home and rest.”

The workers nodded, formed groups, and got to work. Seeing that they were all very energetic, Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou also brought hoes and axes and began to chop down trees and pull out roots.

The work of clearing farmland has begun, and Sun Dagou came to Duan Yixin’s home. He knocked on the low gate and waited for a while before Duan Yixin walked out of the house.

Duan Yixin saw it was him and opened the low gate with a smile, “Uncle Sun, good morning. What kind of wind brings you here?”

Sun Dagou smiled at her and said, “Xin Niang, the preparations for building the greenhouses have been completed. I’m here to find out where you want to build them.”

Duan Yixin stepped aside and said, “Uncle Sun, please come in and sit down first. I will get you a sketch of the plan.”

Sun Dagou nodded and sat on the wooden stool while Duan Yixin went to get the land planning sketch she had drawn yesterday. Soon, she came back with the sketch and sat in front of Sun Dagou.

Sun Dagou studied the sketch for a while and found that there was still a lot of empty land. He then looked at Duan Yixin and asked, “Xin Niang, do you want to add more greenhouses in the future?”

Duan Yixin was not surprised that Sun Dagou could guess her intentions just from the land sketch. She nodded and said, “Yes. I do have such plans for the future.”

Sun Dagou nodded, folded the sketch carefully, and said, “I will take this picture with me first and return it to you after the construction is completed.”

Duan Yixin nodded, “All right.”

After putting away the sketch, Sun Dagou stood up and said, “Since you have already decided on the location, let’s start the construction today.”

Seeing that she was about to send him out, Sun Dagou waved his hand and said, “No need to send me off. You can just go and get busy.”

Duan Yixin nodded and watched Sun Dagou leave in a hurry. Then, she went back to the backyard to make the cold ointments. Duan Yixin was busy making the cold ointment and didn’t stop until she felt hungry.

After making another batch of cold ointment, Duan Yixin placed the jar filled with cold ointment on the ground and cleaned the tools. Then she took the tools, the jar of cold ointment, and the small stove back to the bedroom, closed the door, and put them into the warehouse.

Ever since she discovered that a group of people were secretly monitoring her, Duan Yixin had been very careful in her actions, fearing that those people would discover her secret. Leaving the bedroom, she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Seeing Duan Yixin entering the kitchen, Shiwu couldn’t help but say, “This young lady looks very poor, but she eats three meals a day. Her habits are very similar to those of the rich nobles in the imperial capital city.”

Hearing what he said, Liushiliu said, “Not only that, she actually has a lot of money. When I investigated her, I found that she sold all her medicinal herbs to Chang Shou Pharmacy and made a lot of money. She is also the one who found the thousand-year-old ginseng that was sent to the imperial capital city by Shopkeeper Tan.”

Others were surprised when they heard this. A few seconds later, Ershiyi looked at Jian Liu and said, “Captain, maybe we should ask her to help us find Hui Xiang. There was only one day left before we were asked to return to the northern border.”

Jian Liu thought about Ershiyi’s suggestion and said, “This is all we can do for now. I will go talk to her. You all just wait here.”

The other five secret guards nodded and said, “Yes, Captain.”

Jian Liu held his sword, activated his lightness skill, and went to find Duan Yixin. In less than a minute, Jian Liu landed lightly in front of the kitchen. Jian Liu stood there thinking about what to say so as not to scare Duan Yixin when Duan Yixin came out with a bamboo tray filled with food.
